Battery Jump Boxes

Battery Jump box lifespan?

Does anyone get more than two years out of these things? Kept this one inside the truck & used it maybe a dozen or so times. Held a charge great over the 2 year span & still looks new. The brand on this one was Clore JNC660 'Jump-N-Carry' 1,700 Peak Amp 12-Volt Jump Starter.
About $130 online. Just tired of buying them & just seeing if anyone else is getting more life out of theirs.

 

That may be the issue. Just read the online manual section for charging & ....
"This unit has a sealed lead-acid battery that should be kept at full charge. Recharge when first purchased, immediately after each use, and every three months if not used.
Failure to perform maintenance charges may cause the battery life to be reduced
greatly.

I only charged them when needed or rarely thinking they were like other battery based products that needed to be ran down.
So evidently all that ink that is those manuals may have been worth reading 2 years ago.

That Schumacher 2212 is what the dealer had & that I had to borrow to get their truck off my trailer yesterday.

 

Had ordered a new one from Amazon at $129.50 when I saw your post. Cancelled the order & stopped by Batteries Plus this afternoon. As mentioned have the "[h=1]Clore JNC660 'Jump-N-Carry' 1,700 Peak Amp 12-Volt Jump Starter".[/h]
To replace with Clores specific battery via that store was $326. Crossed referenced the number to something of theirs & it was $83 for a AGM replacement. That was the only option given. Was hoping to get it in there for under $50, but still saved $50 instead of buying new.

 

Turns out the battery would not take a charge through the system. Guessing the motherboard/chipset was the issue? The cool part is the Battery Plus store took it back no problem. Which is impressive given that most anything electrical is generally not. That said, the price at Amazon dropped $20 if anyone needs one. Note power cord to charge the units on either the Clore or Schumacher are sold separately.
